As expected, the U18 Craven Week unofficial champions have the most players in the squad. WP have eight representatives, while the Golden Lions have six. KZN (four), EP (three), Border (one), Boland (four), the Valke (two), SWD (two), Griffons (one), Pumas (one) and Free State (two) also have schoolboys picked.

This squad will play a set of trials from 28 July, before being reduced to a final group of 28 players. The SA Schools team will play in the three U18 internationals against Wales, France and England.
